What This Means
Foster City's real estate market is showing signs of cooling as we head into summer. With only 17 homes sold in June, the pace has slowed compared to May, though the year-over-year volume decline of 29.2% reflects a broader pullback from the frothy market conditions of mid-2025. More telling than raw sales numbers is the significant 28.5% median price drop year-over-year, from $2 million down to $1.43 million—a substantial correction that suggests buyers have regained negotiating power after an extended seller's market.
The positive takeaway is that homes are moving relatively quickly at 43 days on market, and sellers who price realistically are seeing offers at or above asking price, as evidenced by the 101% sale-to-list ratio. This indicates the market hasn't stalled entirely; rather, it's finding equilibrium. The active inventory of 43 listings suggests supply and demand are more balanced than they were a year ago, giving buyers genuine options.
The mixed property types selling—single-family homes, condos, and townhomes—show that the slowdown is market-wide rather than segment-specific. For sellers, pricing competitively has become essential. For buyers, the pressure is off, and this window of moderate competition and falling prices won't last forever as interest rates stabilize.
